Eris

“Legend tells of creatures – sometimes cats, sometimes other beasts, but most often, wolves – that can change shape, and walk as men. Legend says that this gift, or curse, granted them the reason of men, the instinct of wolves, and a strength far surpassing either species. Legend states that this fusion of man and beast, immune to all harm save silver or fire, who towers over mere mortals, powerful beyond imagining – Damn, I wish I was that guy!”
? Peter Stubbe, Peter Is the Wolf

User with this ability is a werewolf, a human or humanoid being with the ability to transform into a wolf or an anthropomorphic wolf-like creature, either purposely or after being placed under a curse and/or lycanthropic affliction via a bite or scratch from a werewolf, or some other means. This transformation is often associated with the appearance of the full moon.

The user gains the traits of werewolves, most obvious being ability to change into a wolf with the natural characteristics inherent to both wolves and humans, including senses, stamina, agility, etc. In addition werewolves are often attributed strength and speed far beyond those of wolves or men and may have them in lesser amount even when untransformed.

Other than this, details vary considerably: some are limited to single form which ranges from completely animal to man-wolf (humanoid with fur, claws and fangs); some can shift between human, wolf-man (humanoid wolf) and pure wolf; while others are able to choose to what extent they want to change, including what parts. Their wolf-form may be completely natural wolf in form, something resembling a Dire Wolf, or even something directly from the darkest dredges of human fear for wolves. Although some wolf instinct is likely to influence a werewolf in transformed state, this varies from completely animal mind to perfectly aware human, even to the stereotypical monster lusting for blood.

Although it is very commonly linked to werewolves, they aren’t all vulnerable to silver or other traditional weaknesses. For some these are no more or less harmful than any other metal or substance, some are essentially un-killable for anything else.

Eris, however, has a weakness to silver. And while her bite will kill most lower-tier vampires, a vampire’s bite can easily kill her as well.

My Story Is...

Eris is one of those that was born with the Beast Blood. In her experience, there are two kinds of Wolves. Those that are born, and those that are bitten. However, she is one of the rare ones, having been called the True Alpha by many who have encountered.

The difference, her mother used to explain, between an Alpha and a True Alpha, is the forms they take. According to Lila, the Alphas only have one of two Wolf forms. Lycan or Wolf. Never both. Eris, as the others had learned, was the first in five hundred years to be gifted with both forms.

This is partly why she wasn’t expected to lead her parents’ Pack when they died. She ended up creating her own. It was small, only eight other Wolves who had been bitten in and then abandoned. And one day, Hunters descended upon her Pack. With her heightened abilities, she was able to kill the Hunters and save herself. But her entire Pack was killed.

Now, she’s on her way to rebuilding, trying to avoid biting in any more Wolves, and only finding those that are already Wolves and in need of a home.
